Reflecting on the Word
Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Do people point at you and say, “Behold, a
follower of Christ”? Do they follow you? Do you
ask why they’re following you and invite them to
follow Jesus, as Andrew invited Simon now known
as Peter? We put on Christ at baptism, so to see us
is to see Jesus. We became his servants. We prom-
ised to seek to know God’s will and to live it in clear
and concrete ways. So these questions are not far-
fetched.
The Corinthians were beginning to learn that
listening to God’s voice and following Jesus Christ
asked them to change their lives. They were called
to glorify God and live as temples of the Holy Spirit.
So are we. Following Jesus means that how we treat
one another, care for ourselves, make decisions, and
care for creation looks different than how we’d live
without being members of his body. Listening for
God’s voice is a beginning, but we also need to re-
flect on what we hear. Then we need to respond by
living differently because of what we’ve heard.
According to St. Francis de Sales, we carry the
Lord on our tongues, recounting his deeds and prais-
ing him. We carry him in our hearts with tender
love and affection. But these two ways do not
amount to much unless we carry the Lord in our
arms by living the ways of God clearly and concrete-
ly. Listen for God’s voice. Contemplate what you
hear. Then share the fruits of your contemplation by
living Jesus so clearly that others point to you and
say, “Behold, a follower of Christ, the Lamb of
God!”
For Prayerful Consideration & Discussion
How do you listen for and reflect upon God’s
will in your life?
What in your life leads others to point and say,
“Behold, a follower of Jesus Christ”?
